Greetings, Valley View Rotary family and friends!!!
Thank you to everyone that attended last week's program with Janie Morgan on The Rotary Works Foundation. Even those in attendance that were aware of Rotary Works still admitted to learning something new about the Foundation! Hearing this comment from several members reminded me of one of my favorite quotes:
"It's what you learn after you know it all that really matters." - John Wooden
Please join us this week as we hear from local author Alene Keenan about her adventures as a Chief Stewardess of Wine and Luxury Hospitality, and how she is using her knowledge to help companies and organizations improve the customer experiences they are providing!
Lucas Herro
Many members were moved by Lucas' recent presentation to the Club about his journey and desire to return to the Olympics.
Here are some ways to help Lucas: You can make an Online Donation at https://givebutter.com/g4ZEao or send a check to: Lucas M. Herro Supplemental Needs Trust c/o Mike Herro. 533 Eagle Ct. Onalaska, WI 54650.
